Restaurant Chain Gets Closer to Global Barbecue Domination

SEATTLE, March 9, 2012 // PRNewswire // -- Dickey's Barbecue Pit is building momentum in the Washington area. The world's largest barbecue chain recently opened its first Washington restaurant in Auburn. Dickey's is now searching for two additional sites.

"I think the Seattle area is ready for more of our authentic and unique concept," said Roland Dickey, Jr., president of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. "We have big plans for the Washington area."

Dickey's Barbecue added over 66 stores last year and is planning to add 100 new locations nationwide in 2012. The fast casual restaurant chain just signed on another new franchise owner looking for sites in Olympia and Lacey.

"Dickey's is something new and exciting for the area," said local franchise owner Gary Depping, owner of Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Auburn. "We are extremely excited to be open and serving great barbecue."

Dickey's Barbecue Pit opened its first location in Dallas in 1941. Dickey's began franchising in 1994 and has continued to grow across the country. Dickey's currently has more than 200 locations in 36 states nationwide.

With every new restaurant, the company creates additional jobs for landlords, brokers, construction companies, and of course the city itself. This is great news for the Seattle area.

Dickey's Barbecue offers a quality selection of signature meats, home style sides and tangy barbecue sauce. All meats are slow smoked on-site in each restaurant. For more information, including a full menu, other restaurant locations and franchising opportunities, please visit www.dickeys.com.
